Fatores envolvidos na não realização dos exames de rastreamento para o câncer de mama

Resumo

The objective ot this study was to analyze the evidence available in the literature on the factors involved in the non-performance of breast cancer screening tests. Data collection was performed in the LILACS, MEDLINE and Scopus databases. The search strategy was: (tw:(“breast cancer screening”)) AND (tw:(“Health Knowledge, Attitudes, Practice”)) AND (tw:(mammography)) OR (tw:(ultrasonography)) OR (tw:(“clinical breast exam”)). The final sample consisted of 10 articles. The factors that demonstrated to be associated with the non-performance of breast cancer screening tests were internal: fears, beliefs/culture, attitudes of shame/ embarrassment, knowledge about breast cancer; and external: health services, health professionals, sociopolitical factors, organizational factors. Thus, these factors demonstrate the need to use the service in an organized and universal way, with professionals prepared to welcome and guide women, coping with the factors that impede the performance of breast cancer screenings.
